Popular Portrayal of the Bible

Modem culture views the bible in many different ways, from ridicule and satire to devotion. This multi-faceted attitude is found in the variety of movies/books written that "re-tell" Biblical stories. From episode of the Simpsons, to Mel Gibson's passion of the Christ and The Prince Of the Egypt. I have chose to write the paper on The Prince Of the Egypt. We are exposed to the Bible through the visual and print media. Your job is to analyze one of these presentations. PROCEDURES: (1) Choose one popular portrayal of a biblical story/book, either literary or visual. it should retell the story and not be a "documentary" examining the story. (2) Read or watch the selection and compare it to the biblical passage upon which it is based. What are the differences between the portrayal and the Bible? What is an explanation for those differences? (3) The question you should focus on in your paper is: "How do changes made to the presentation of the material significantly change the content, message, or understanding of the biblical story?"
